The Paper Cranes are a Canadian indie pop band from Victoria, British Columbia. The band is comprised of the husband and wife duo of Ryan McCullagh (Guitar,Vocals) and Miranda Roach (Keyboard), Braeden Paterson (Guitar), Alex Bodman (Bass) and Jeff Mitchelmore (Drums). Despite several line-up changes during their career the group remains centered around the husband-wife team. The band take their name from the book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr.
The band was formed in January 2005 by multi-instrumentalist Ryan McCullagh (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard), James Watson (Drums), John Quissy (Bass), and Mark Vondrasek (Guitar). The group recorded 5 demo songs together including early versions of “I’ll Love You Until My Veins Explode”, “Out On The Horse Tracks”, and, “Deus Ex Machinegun” which circulated on the internet though the recordings were never officially released.
In the summer of 2005 Greg Ipp, a Toronto DJ and music blogger, founded Unfamiliar Records and signed The Paper Cranes. In the autumn of that year Miranda Roach joined the group as their keyboard player. Following some opening slots for Wolf Parade and Pretty Girls Make Graves the band recorded their untitled debut EP usually referred to as the “Veins EP.” The Album was recorded at Mushroom Studios in Vancouver BC and was engineered and produced by Howard Redekopp. In December of 2005 Ryan and Miranda were married.
